For this assignment you are to write a paper using MS-Word
about the Internet. The paper will include information on who created the
Internet and what was its original purpose. How did original intended use of
the Internet affect its design? Finally you are to describe some of the ways in
which the Internet is currently being used. Make sure that your report includes
at least two citations in the bibliography (you should probably have more).
Your grading for this assignment will not only include the features of Word that
you have used but also the content (e.g., do you back up the part of the paper
that describes how the Internet is currently used with reliable sources or do is
it just based on your opinion) and style (e.g., clarity, spelling, grammar) of
your report. Although there isn't a length limit or minimum length required
(it's quality and not quantity that matters) it's likely that your report will
be somewhere in the range of a half a dozen to a dozen pages (more towards the
latter if you include a lot of images and perhaps tables and graphs) to help
your reader understand the points that you are trying to make.
Features of Word that you must include in this assignment
(aside from the obvious functions like creating an editing text):
- A cover page with the following information:
|
| |
- The course name (CPSC) and number (203)
|
| |
- Your name and university identification number
|
| |
- The name of the course instructor (James Tam)
|
| |
- The name of the tutorial instructor (Chengyao
Deng)
|
| |
- The section number (91).
|
- Fonts of multiple sizes and perhaps of different styles (e.g.,
italics, bold etc.).
|
- Automatic page numbering (the page number should appear at the top of
each page in the upper right hand corner). However the cover page
should not be numbered.
|
- Images should be used to help illustrate your points in the body of
your report. In addition to adding images in the body you should add one
to the cover page near the name of the course instructor. Get the image
off my faculty web page (http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~tamj/).
Insert the image into the report and crop it so that only a part so that
my face and torso show. You can perform the cropping either in Word or by
using another program and inserting the cropped image into word. (Note:
aside from cropping the image you aren’t to otherwise perform any edits
e.g., no goatees for me please :p).
|
-
Use Word's auto caption feature to label the images
in the body of the report. There is no need to label the image of me on
the cover page. (The font used for captions should differ from the font
used in the body of the report e.g., the report can use Times New Roman,
the captions can use Arial)
|
- Use Word's 'insert table' feature somewhere in your report. How you
use it is up to you e.g., you can use a table for formatting the cover
page to make sure that image of the instructor and the name of the
instructor are close to each other or a table can be used in a more
obvious fashion by showing a table of figures.
